KOWLOON'S TWO BIG
HOSPITALS
Report On Work During 1932
The Report of the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services (Dr. A..R. Wellington) for the year 1932, con tains a most interesting review of the work of the two great hospitals on the Mainland-the Kowloon Hospital and the Kwong Wah Hospital-from which we give the following extracts.
KOWLOON HOSPITAL
This at present consists of three blocks:-
A. Block containing 28 beds B. Block containing 31 beds M. Block containing 25 beds &.
8 cots
A and B. Blocks cater for male
patients and M. block for female patients. M, block which
was opened on 1st April was built for maternity cases, but so great was the need for accommodation of general cases that it had to be used temporarily as a general block.
This hospital is being enlarged year by year by the erection of ads ditional blocks, the rate of exten- Going evidenc Sub-Inspector sion being governed by the finan- Saunders said that on October 5,cial state of the Colony.

There were fully fifty peo- pla waiting at the time.
The defendant said that on Octo- ber 2, a certain rumber of bases / were laid up and six were up for

At eleven o'clock Sergeant Serim sent two buses on the food because of excessive exhaust smoke.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAY The magistrate" I gather it is part of the condition of your monopoly for you to keep suffici ent buses and that you keep the buses which are on the routes in an officient condition Running a public service like this, a delay of twenty minutes might be very serious indeed. All sorts of people use the buses I myself use the bus and people attending this Court do. A man might get into very serious trouble from me he does not appear in time.

"MUDDLE" NO EXCUSE. Mr. Louey said that in connexion with the summons for October 5, following a lot of correspondence in the Press regarding the in- adequacy of the bus service, the D.S.P. (K) instructed him to put on larger buses of the No. 7 route during the rush hours. This meant, taking buses off other routes
